9-year-old girl found dead in Superior home, foul play not suspected

Boulder County officials are investigating the death of a 9-year-old Superior girl who was found unresponsive in her bedroom by relatives this morning, according to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office.

Emergency crews with the Rocky Mountain Fire Protection District and Boulder County Sheriff's Office at around 9:10 a.m. this morning were dispatched to a home in the 1000 block of Stoneham Street in Superior on reports of person who was unresponsive, officials say.

On the scene, they found a 9-year-old girl who was not breathing. The girl, whose identity has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family members first called 911 after waking up to check on the girl and finding her not breathing. They attempted to resuscitate her before emergency crews arrived but were unsuccessful, according to officials.

The Sheriff's Office and the Boulder County Coroner's Office are investigating, and the cause and manner of the girl's death will be released once the investigation is completed, officials say.

The Coroner's Office is withholding the girl's name until they confirm that all family members have been notified.
